Well...in layman's tems its Crew and RW. In the competitive arena its CF (Canopy Formation) & FS (Formation Skydiving) Nobody actually calls it "CF". That's such an official failure on the part of USPA to exert power over language. Here's proof: Search for "CF": 677 results Search for "CRW": 5489 results Search for "CREW": 7841 results (Of course "CREW" could also be the English word, but a quick scan shows most of those 7841 references are the ones we're talking about.)

But you still can't argue that on dropzone.com (an international community) the ratio "CRW/CREW" to "CF" is approximately 20:1. Nobody is adopting "CF". It's a loser term and the public has spoken.

Well I wasn't arguing the point Narci...and since only about 1% of the skydiving community in is the competition arena, CF would not be a common term just as FS would not. So atribute it to education. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
